An agregation of big thinkers & revolutionaries – get this in your calendar for next year

Spent most of this week at eComm in San Francisco; self-described as “eComm represents a visionary community committed to innovation and directing the future of technology-mediated-communications at this critical juncture.”

Take a look at the schedule of speakers and content to get a sense of the show; http://america.ecomm.ec/2011/schedule/monday.php . This attendee quote gives a sense of it:

Terrific experience… I’ve never been to a conference with a larger collection of innovative, disruptive and forward- looking ideas. Bravo! (Michael Calabrese, New America Foundation, Europe)

One of the sessions was specific to a recurring issue here; The Big Squeeze: Monopolies in Wired and Wireless Access. See the next post for details.
